suita three-seater firm sofa

Introducing Suita: an elegant, timeless sofa system from Vitra and Antonio Citterio that is at once lightweight and technical. The precise geometry and soft padding of the body seem to float above the sleek, aluminum legs echoing classic, mid-century American design. Featuring individual components that can be freely combined, Suita adapts to suit all kinds of design visions, individual styles and environments.

Suita sofa can take on either a formal or casual attitude depending on the cushions, which feature different combinations of foam and feather and are available in various degrees of softness. The slender seat shell allows for maximum seating area, whereas the sofa itself takes up as little space as possible.

The basic elements of the Suita Sofa system can be used individually, or they can be mixed and matched to suite all kinds of living spaces and furnishing needs. Some elements of the Suita collection can be fitted with a head section that offers both support and serves as a barrier from noise and visual stimuli. Also, an optional tray can be mounted on the back edge of the sofa. When combined with a chair and a laptop, it makes a perfect, casual workplace. If placed against a wall, the tray creates an additional shelf or decoration space. The elegant frames (offered in your choice of polished, black-coated or white-coated aluminum) together with the choice of fabric or leather covers offer individuality in terms of comfort and appearance.

* Suita is offered with two different cushion options - soft or firm. The softer version is available with either classic or pointed cushions while the firm version is only offered with classic cushions. Please call for additional cushion options including Alexander Girard pillows.

Italian designer Antonio Citterio (b. 1950) still lives and works in Milan since graduating in architecture from the Politcenico di Milano. He has made designs for many manufacturers, including : Ansorg, B&B Italia, Flexform, Flos, Hackman, Iittala, Hansgrohe, Inda, Pozzi e Ginori, Kartell, Arclinea and Vitra. He operates his entirely own brand known for skilled craftsmanship in wood processing, Maxalto, under B&B Italia. The first Maxalto store opened in Paris, followed by Chicago and Miami. The company received new attention after appearing in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Citterio’s other work includes construction in Italy and abroad, as well as leading conferences and lectures.

Vitra is a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design. Following in the tradition of Charles & Ray Eames, who have influenced Vitra’s approach to sustainability in many ways, product longevity is central to the company’s contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection.
